School Overview

Mary Buren Elementary serves the small agricultural town of Guadalupe, a tight-knit community tucked between the Santa Maria Valley and the Pacific coast dunes — a place with deep Latino roots and a strong sense of local pride. The school reflects the working-class, family-centered character of the town, and families here tend to be deeply connected to the community even as the school works to close academic gaps in English and math. For families rooted in Guadalupe, this is a neighborhood school in the truest sense, and the surrounding area offers a quieter, slower-paced life that's a world away from the busier parts of Santa Barbara County.
